I think these are a big improvement over the 1st set, looks like your on the right path.

Nice improvement and fast progress. I like both.

Hey All,

You may remember me - I was a bit critical of your first set. These are far far far better.

I like how you bissected the first picture and you might fiddle with the second a bit more in terms of that although the balance is really nice.

You added texture and interest to both pictures without radically "blown out areas. The "lines" in the photos nicely compliment each other. Basically you've made these pictures more interesting - more to look at and more to take in and comprehend. In short a far better job - IMO.

The first is definitely better than the second. You can get that lens flare out by using the selective healing tool and instead of normal mode, use the color mode instead.

I think they're a tad over sharpened as well.

I really like #1 and the way that sun reflects on the water ending up shining on the rocks
